Charging Myths - in words nourished
A special storytelling afternoon during Amsterdam Art Week, on 4 June '23, at the finissage of Charging Myths - 'In words nourished' at Framer Framed. Within the context of the exhibition, following the trail of lithium, four artists use different methods to forge a deeper connection to natural materials, whose stories and traces are often unknown.
Deep sea mining (DSM) is rapidly coming to be, after a false dawn in the 1970s, a devastating reality. From four to five kilometres below sea level to the depths of the seabed, the process is hidden from our view. How can our imaginary make visible what is beyond human perspective? Greet Brauwers & Raf Custers address two angles that factor into the mainstream narrative of DSM.
The title of the program is taken from the poem, 𝘞𝘦 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘢 𝘕𝘦𝘸 𝘚𝘶𝘯, by Pélagie Gbaguidi featured in 𝘊𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘔𝘺𝘵𝘩𝘴.
